[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 81504, member: 704"] There is an interesting article in Petersons Hunting, March edition, page 11. Science now suspects we may be spreading Chronic Wasting Disease through the use of urine lure while we bow hunt. To date 140 game farms have tested positive for CWD. Ten of those facilities provide 90% of the urine we use as a lure. There is a real head scratcher about CWD and game farms. Game farms that have tested safe, and say they have purchased no new animals, years later test positive for CWD. Latent perhaps, in the soil, perhaps, but no wild deer near test positive. The other problem is even bleach isn't killing the spread. I think when we bow hunt we perhaps have to drop the use of urine. Especially the type that advertises pure with no preservatives, keep refrigerated. Many states have already banned deer urine. Also there is a program called the deer protection program that does not allow transfer of deer from one state to another. Not that many years ago sportsmen took things like this very seriously. I hope we don't relegate this to a global warming liberal plot. I have not used urine much. Perhaps try it once a year. I'm throwing mine out. Edit: When I read the ads about pure etc. I always envisioned laboratory clean, pvc hoses running from catch buckets etc. Now I read feces, urine, and saliva often drain to the same receptacle and must be strained before sale. Another vision falls flat. [/QUOTE]
